78 Flodin Rd, Gwinn, MI 49841

Get Directions

Sands Township Transfer Station on Flodin Road is the small local transfer station people from Gwinn use instead of driving way out to a landfill. Mostly the spot for residential drop-offs and small trailers, it’s a no-frills, practical place rather than anything fancy.

Drive up to an entrance booth and then follow the traffic flow into the yard; there’s usually a scale and fees are charged, so plan for a second stop on the way out. The site looks like an open yard with large roll-off containers and a building where loads get compacted and loaded onto transport trucks. Recycling or drop-off bins are often off to one side so separating loads can speed things up. Weekends-especially during spring cleanup-get backed up, and expect a little walking between parking and the actual drop-off point.

Before You Go

  • Pack trucks and trailers so heavy items are near the tailgate and loose stuff is easy to toss; unloading goes faster and safer that way.
  • Try for a weekday morning if possible-lines are usually shortest then and weekend spring cleanups can take a long time.
  • Wear sturdy shoes and work gloves, and secure loads with straps or tarps to keep things from shifting on the drive in.
